Cybermat47 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Okay, so I recently made a new skin for the Blackshark using GIMP. All textures are renamed, flattened, given an alpha layer, and given box mipmaps, just as in a working user-made skin I used for reference. The description.lua file is, again, set up correctly according to the working user-made skin. Here it is: livery = { {"KA-50-lamp", 0, "KA-50-PAINT2_AS", false}, {"KA-50-PAINT1", 0, "KA-50-PAINT1_AS", false}, {"KA-50-PAINT1_M", 0, "KA-50-PAINT1_AS", false}, {"KA-50-PAINT2", 0, "KA-50-PAINT2_AS", false}, {"KA-50-PAINT3", 0, "KA-50-PAINT3_AS", false}, {"KA-50-PAINT4", 0, "KA-50-PAINT4_AS", false}, {"KA-50-PAINT5", 0, "KA-50-PAINT5_AS", false}, {"KA-50-PAINT6", 0, "KA-50-PAINT6_AS", false}, {"KA-50-Vtulka_met", 0, "KA-50-PAINT2_AS", false}, {"SOPLA_KA-50-PAINT3", 0, "KA-50-PAINT3_AS", false}, {"KA-50-gear-rubber", 0, "KA-50-PAINT5_AS", false}, {"KA-50_ST-rm_paint1", 0, "Ka-50_St_Paint1_AS", false}, {"KA-50_Lifting_rotor_mast", 0, "KA-50-LRMpart_AS", false}, {"KA-50_LRM_Part", 0, "KA-50-LRMpart_AS", false}, {"KA-50_LRM-CENTRE", 0, "KA-50-LRM_centre_AS", false}, {"KA-50-LRM_B", 0, "KA-50-LRM_B_AS", false}, {"KA-50_BORT_NUMBERs", 0, "empty", true}, {"KA-50_Turkey_Numbers", 0, "empty", true}, } id = 10 name = "Abkhazian Support" countries = { "RUS", } Yet for some reason, the skin has the following issues: - The skin does not appear in-game. - The skin is listed as being available for all countries. - The skin is listed in the mission planner, but the actual textures do not appear. Please, I will be very grateful to anyone who can tell me what I'm doing wrong! :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybermat47 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 remove id=10 I did that, but the problems are still there. Regardless, thank you for trying to help :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybermat47 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Could the name of the files be the cause? Are there characters, say underscores, that I shouldn't use? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybermat47 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hmm, that doesn't seem to have been the problem. Is there a line of code that's missing that could be the cause? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG-Vampire Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Please name the files/textures what you are using for your new skin. Where did you put those files ? Into a zip file or where the description.lua is placed ? (use "false" only for your new files if you put next to description.lua) Show some screenshots of your (faulty) skin. A modelviewer or an in-sim image would be good. Edited December 11, 2016 by NRG-Vampire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybermat47 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Please name the files/textures what you are using for your new skin. KA-50-PAINT1_AS.dds KA-50-PAINT2_AS.dds KA-50-PAINT3_AS.dds KA-50-PAINT4_AS.dds KA-50-PAINT5_AS.dds KA-50-PAINT6_AS.dds Ka-50_St_Paint1_AS.dds KA-50-LRMpart_AS.dds KA-50-LRM_centre_AS.dds KA-50-LRM_B_AS.dds Where did you put those files ? Into a zip file or where the description.lua is placed ? (use "false" only for your new files if you put next to description.lua) I placed them in the same folder as description.lua, DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\ka-50\Russia Abkhazian Support. Show some screenshots of your (faulty) skin. A modelviewer or an in-sim image would be good. I'm afraid I can't do that. The skin does not load at all, which I believe is caused by an issue in description.lua. Thank you for the assistance, by the way :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skin does not load at all, which I believe is caused by an issue in description.lua. would be good to know how looks your deficient skin. it's important. (sometimes PS save/export able to screw up textures) so is that the greenish missing texture on it ? or is it white/light gray, or maybe black/dark gray ? or send me the texture files and I will fix it to you. ;) Edited December 12, 2016 by NRG-Vampire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybermat47 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 or send me the texture files and I will fix it to you. ;) Thank you very much!
